Liverpool, on the other hand, also do not have any suspension issues, but Jayden Danns, Jeremie Frimpong, Cody Gakpo, Wataru Endo, Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni and Stefan Bajcetic are on the club's injury list.
Quotes
"If I have a player who goes off with a muscle injury like Joe (Gomez), that's normally not a positive thing," Liverpool manager Arne Slot said after his side's win over Brighton.
"I would not expect him to be in the squad next week [at Tottenham Hotspur]. But sometimes you get a positive surprise. People now maybe understand a bit better why I was always so cautious not to play him so many games. I assume many people thought, 'If you have a defender, if you have a right full-back, why don't you play him?' And Dom (Dominik Szoboszlai), it was his ankle.
"It didn't look great when I just saw him. But he has unbelievable mentality so let's hope for the best. The good thing is that Conor Bradley comes back from a suspension [next week] and normally Jeremie Frimpong will train with us also."
Head-to-Head
Liverpool emerged as 5-1 winners over Tottenham in their last meeting in the league, which was in April 2025 at Anfield.
Therefore, the Reds are unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches against Spurs, having recorded three successive wins.
